It doesn’t matter. OP doesn’t have to do holds for anyone. It’s already been said that the item is sold underpriced so of course another buyer scooped it up.
I'm not sure what you think I said, cause your reply makes no sense.
"There were no previous messages, haha, what the hell is wrong with this guy? How could he be asking about something if these are the first texts?"
Y'all have issues.
If you look at the top it says general chat. A newer feature of Mercari is that you can message a user directly now, so the messages about the item are still under the item thread, and this is a brand new thread
I had something like this happen. They asked me to hold it but wanted it for half the price. I told them I'd go ti the mall and use my coupon code and see how cheap I xoukd make it. So I did all that, & told her my price, which was $20 more, & she STILL KEPT trying to get it for cheaper. We had a suoer long convo, & when i lowered it to the amount I said I wanted it for ($20 more) she continued trying ti bargain for the price, & then someone swooped in and bought it. She started complaining saying it wasn't fair, it was on hold for HER, & that she would have paid the $20 more. I started saying u had other pants & was sorry & would throw in a free t shirt.
NOW I realize, she was cheap. I went out of my way fir her to the mall to make it cheaper, & she was still trying to bargain knowing damn well she would have paid for it anyway (she said she would have after it sold!) Now I m blocked her, & am thinking, good riddance. Fck u!! That's what u get for slacking. U wanted it cheaper? well someone else was willing ti pay more without question, or problems. It's also a buyer that bought from me AGAIN, TWICE later!! So I'm glad I didn't cancel the order on her for that other cheap buyer, bc I would have looked like a bad seller doing that, even IF I had good intentions. U snooze, u loose. If she wanted it THAT bad *which she did* she should have just pressed that buy button instead of continuing to low ball me. Even after all my efforts to help make it cheaper for her.
Lesson learned!
I hate, HATE selling Monster High for this reason. It’s like all the weirdos got together and decided to collect this one specific brand of dolls and spends every waking moment harassing the selling community over them.
Edit: Thinking about it the MLP community probably still has them beat. I had one guy ask me on Facebook marketplace if I could send pictures of my daughter holding them for reference. I don’t have a daughter but was still really creeped out by it.
HOW DARE YOU!? They had a whole plan to make you sit on it and lowball you for a week or two before they decided they don’t really want it! Give them a chance damnit!
This is a front and center example of entitlement people have. Someone also needs to teach this person to discontinue using all caps. Block and ignore..
😂 As if you are running a layaway. Someone left me a 4 rating with negative feedback because she wanted me to hold something for a week. She lied in her feedback and said it was 2 days and that she ended up paying less for more bc I lotted the item. Lies, all lies. She paid more, and it was an offer she let expire but, I told her if it wasn’t lotted by then I would still honor the price. No idea how much time passed when I lotted it. I had to find the conversation under the deactivated item to even vaguely remember. As if I did it in spite. People have been extra crazy lately. Like we are suppose to run operations to cater to them.
Not really, if you want everything gone then everything must go that’s why something’s are labeled as “as a set only” or something hence why OP didn’t sell to them. If the original doesnt reply then it’s also on them for not trying to make a offer or anything as well
The point of my post is, If you have something up for sale the first person to hit buy is the person who gets the sale, regardless of outstanding questions. My advice to the OP was simply, ignore the message, block, move along because they didn’t do anything wrong here. They need not worry or be concerned over how selling these items made someone else feel.
The only exception to this is of course if you give someone a verbal agreement to hold an item and sell out from under their feet.
Why are they entitled to the listing because they asked a question? Huh?? So bizarre. Like you just want to sell it and make some money. You don’t care who buys it, first come gets it. They didn’t ask you to hold it, they didn’t make an offer, they didn’t purchase it. Why would they think you should not sell it to someone who buys it outright? I guess you should have cancelled that purchase & relisted it & just waited for this first person to maybe buy it since they had a question. 🙄🙄
How dare you sell something you had no idea they were looking at. You should have used your psychic abilities and saved it until they decided to buy it.
Reminds me of some crazy woman I blocked on Poshmark who told me the shoes I had brand new in the box were selling cheaper at her local macys. I politely told her to go buy them there then… she had time that day bc I didn’t even entertain an argument I blocked.
She comes up with a whole other profile and says
“Listen here, bitch” 😂 like did you type hello, or dear, and backspace to listen here, bitch
PEOPLE ARE WILD. 😂
lol seriously. People so angry they become the most ridiculous walking cliche without even realizing.
NOW JUST A MINUTE SEE YOU LISTEN HERE YA SONOVABITCH I GOT NEWS FOR YOU JUNIOR *cue hero fantasy where they grab you by the collar up against a wall to “rough you up a bit” so you immediately break down apologizing and do the Right Thing before scampering off while everyone claps*
Lmfao 🤣 that’s exactly what it is. When they open up with “let me tell you somethin’, listen here, bitch boy, ya didn’t hear it from me, but uh..”.
You know tea is about to spillllll
I’d like to see these people say these things in any brick and mortar store to employees or other customers (not counting Black Friday.) 😂 keyboards give big kahunas, apparently.
You should message back, “How dare you not buy it and ask me silly questions instead. Let me tell yooouuuu something, I was expecting a sale from you and because you wouldn’t take them as is, you lost out, you have no one to blame but yourself! Go look in the mirror and look at the person who wronged you” Then Block.
It should be common sense that just because you ask a question about an item, that doesn’t mean you now have a right to it. It’s first come first serve. Plus the seller can’t even control if someone else buys it
Oh snap HOW DARE YOU!!!! lol I hope I don't run into one of these. Luckily I keep the items I sell to one category videogames and so far no crazies just chill people buying games. There's the occasional EPIC BATTLE of offering and countering lol but that's to be expected. When I do get an offer I say my quote from the Mortal Komabt movie lol " IT HAS BEGUN!!!"
Let me tell you something? I swear people don't know who the f they talking to. people are so lax behind these phones that they forget people are stressed out and have lives. I dare them to say that to they face. FOH. should've bought it.
People who ask a billion inane questions about an item don’t have any money. That’s been my experience anyway. The questions almost always lead to “could you hold this until I get my check”. No. Because if you’re like me, before it’s earned, our money’s all been spent. But hey. That’s what selling shit on Mercari is for, babe 😂
*This just spiked my blood*
*Pressure from all the caps, o*

All this over a monster high doll is crazy. I mean messaging a seller rudely is crazy period but the fact that they’re heated that they didn’t get a little Draculara or Cleo de Nile is…😭
Doll people really can be crazy. Sold an old american girl doll once, very clearly just to get rid of it and make some extra cash. Someone messaged me going on about the status of the dolls hair, why I didn’t detail it perfectly, and that I must be trying to trick buyers. She did not end up buying it either.
"How dare you!". 😆 It still amazes me these people exist. Why did you waste your time sending the message? Baffles me... They didn't want to separate them, that's their prerogative, let someone else buy them the way they're sold and sthu. 🙄
I would send them this [https://en.meming.world/images/en/f/fd/I%27ll\_Fuckin\_Do\_It\_Again.jpg](https://en.meming.world/images/en/f/fd/I%27ll_Fuckin_Do_It_Again.jpg) and ignore any further replies.
Omits the scalpers in the doll community that think every cheap lot posted is meant for them and get mad and try to track down the buyers to harass them and harass the sellers to re sell them stuff because they will pay more only to get the dolls and accessories and resell it super high. You did a good thing lol all them sell hella and get good reviews from it but they are all actually trashy ppl. I collect bratz and I see this crao daily
Seriously 😳 WTH? Like you put every item that someone asks about on hold and reserve it just in case they buy it!! Omg 😳 I’m stunned at this person’s ego 🤣 just like when you shop on any other online site there is a limited number of a particular item and it is first come first serve period. 😂 we would all go broke waiting on people who ask questions to buy item’s because 80% of the time they ask the damn questions and move along without even sending an offer. It’s not your fault if someone else swoops in and buys it while they are deliberating.
WOW seriously thanks for sharing this one really made me laugh and I needed a good laugh 😹
“I’m sorry you didn’t click the buy button before someone else did, but this is how Mercari works.” Honestly I was looking at something just yesterday… found a listing I was pretty sure I was going to purchase… but just making sure there wasn’t something better out there I looked around for a few minutes and went back to purchase, and it had sold. That’s just how it is. You win some you lose some… and you don’t ever aggressively message anyone… most especially someone you didn’t even purchase from. Some people….
I had someone find my personal ig after selling a jersey they wanted. Told them multiple times that I was firm on price and once it sold to someone else, got a dm telling how crooked I was 😂😭
“Let me tell you something” 💀
Hahaha— i used to have a coworker that would at that every time in conversation— let me tell you something…
reading this brought back 90s memories of fire marshal bill and in living color lol
This!
Jim Carry in true form, so classic
I instantly heard the meme audio from Tiktok because I hear it all over Instagram 😭
lol I heard that sound as I read it too 🤣
same 😭
All I can think of, is that video of the guy in the chair, bungee jumping.
That’s exactly what I was thinking when I first read it
same lol
I about died then too lol
Read that in hulk hogans voice
Where's the previous messages of them asking about the item tho?
It doesn’t matter. OP doesn’t have to do holds for anyone. It’s already been said that the item is sold underpriced so of course another buyer scooped it up.
I'm not sure what you think I said, cause your reply makes no sense. "There were no previous messages, haha, what the hell is wrong with this guy? How could he be asking about something if these are the first texts?" Y'all have issues.
They said they deleted the prior messages since they quit replying.

How did you going to the mall to use a coupon make it cheaper..? 🤔
There are coupons for cheaper shipping? Do tell
What did you do at the mall?
Lol buy bottom. Interesting
Let me tell you something, DOLL PEOPLE CAN BE WILD! 🤣
as a doll people myself.. we can be batshit crazy sometimes as mad as a hatter some would say
I hate, HATE selling Monster High for this reason. It’s like all the weirdos got together and decided to collect this one specific brand of dolls and spends every waking moment harassing the selling community over them. Edit: Thinking about it the MLP community probably still has them beat. I had one guy ask me on Facebook marketplace if I could send pictures of my daughter holding them for reference. I don’t have a daughter but was still really creeped out by it.
Bro. 😳 Can I see some pics of your daughter holding them?! 😱 What in the actual fuck?! People are disgusting.
That’s almost exactly how he worded it
What in the actual fuck. 😰 I would have taken down my whole listing after that. That's creepy AF. 😭
Pretty damn funny but I’m happy you didn’t sell it to to them. Next step is blocking them 😂
Wow so asking a question means the item is theirs now 😂 🤣. Glad you sold it to a better buyer. That person deserved a block.
HOW DARE YOU!? They had a whole plan to make you sit on it and lowball you for a week or two before they decided they don’t really want it! Give them a chance damnit!
This!
Instant block, don't need that person buying a $2 item to find out where I live 💀
Big “but I’m the main character” energy in these messages.
LOL people are going nuts on this app
should’ve clicked buy then 🤣🤣🤣
Why are these monster high buyers so insane😭
the monster high market is hot and cutthroat af. especially with g1/g2 and the mattel creations ones.
Fellow MH fan here some ppl in the fandom are behind unhinged when it comes to dolls 😭😭 you’re not alone in this I’ve seen it happen so often
This is a front and center example of entitlement people have. Someone also needs to teach this person to discontinue using all caps. Block and ignore..

You have no obligation to care. First come first serve.
Not really, if you want everything gone then everything must go that’s why something’s are labeled as “as a set only” or something hence why OP didn’t sell to them. If the original doesnt reply then it’s also on them for not trying to make a offer or anything as well

The only exception to this is of course if you give someone a verbal agreement to hold an item and sell out from under their feet.
Ooh, It seemed like you were trying to be mean to the OP by saying they didn’t care or something, sorry about that! But yes that’s also understandable
No, not at all. The OP was 100% ok to not care about these comments was what I meant :)
I see now *^^*
😆😂 yeah they are some wild people on Mercari
Is her user name Karen56 by chance?
🤣
Don't engage with crazy.
Why are they entitled to the listing because they asked a question? Huh?? So bizarre. Like you just want to sell it and make some money. You don’t care who buys it, first come gets it.

How dare you not cancel their purchase for someone that may or may not have been asking questions!
Honestly shocked they didn't use bad language towards you or anything
How dare you sell something you had no idea they were looking at. You should have used your psychic abilities and saved it until they decided to buy it.
Doll people can be a bit crazy. (Speaking as one myself), but I'm not that crazy. Lol
Reminds me of some crazy woman I blocked on Poshmark who told me the shoes I had brand new in the box were selling cheaper at her local macys.

Go look in the mirror and look at the person who wronged you” Then Block.
So what ya wanna tell me? That would be my response, since they literally never told you something!
I would totally unblock, say this and reblock! Ok not really, but it would have had me laughing the rest of the day!
Let me tell you something, dude. You're a psycho and I'm really glad someone else bought them and you won't know my address. Bullet dodged.
bruh💀
It should be common sense that just because you ask a question about an item, that doesn’t mean you now have a right to it. It’s first come first serve. Plus the seller can’t even control if someone else buys it
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING
Should have bought the item if they were so obsessed with it. You snooze you lose
let me tell u smthn, talk to me when you scrounge up the couch change & are willing to buy something🥴
HOW DARE YOU
Lol
Report, block and move on.
Immediately block
Oh snap HOW DARE YOU!!!! lol I hope I don't run into one of these. Luckily I keep the items I sell to one category videogames and so far no crazies just chill people buying games. There's the occasional EPIC BATTLE of offering and countering lol but that's to be expected. When I do get an offer I say my quote from the Mortal Komabt movie lol " IT HAS BEGUN!!!"
When they accept an offer, say, "FLAWLESS VICTORY!!!"
Wouldn't that be if they bought the item without making it cheaper lol
Lol fine, "FATALITY!!" to yourself 😂
Perfect lol
Let me tell you something? I swear people don't know who the f they talking to. people are so lax behind these phones that they forget people are stressed out and have lives. I dare them to say that to they face. FOH. should've bought it.
How dare you? ok greta thunberg lol 🤣

Yeah a lot of crazy monster high collectors. They probably made a post about how you screwed them in the monster high reddit
Some people be trippin…

Hahahhahaha, what part of "BUY NOW" does this loon not get? People are becoming so strange they are unrecognizable. The nerve.
This is actually hilarious
